COMPETITION MATTERS This week, I want to share why the projects behind ChainPunks Lab matter to me. Starting with @booanft by @0xmonas , the artist also behind ChainPunks. BOOA was my first love among agent NFT collections. It arrived around the same time as @normiesART , which later grew much bigger in trading volume. Artistically, I consider both equally important. For me, agents are one of the most significant developments in the 2026 NFT space, opening up new possibilities for the medium. BOOA invites collectors to co-create its world, Khora: deploy an agent, build and customise it, and connect wallets and accounts. This is worldbuilding through participation. To me, it feels like #Cyberpunk coming to life, with a little escaping the #Matrix along the way. Its editable onchain art gives me a reason to return to a character, experiment, and build a personal connection through what I do with it. Following Monas and the community develop this world... including its lore through the 30-day Writers’ Room project has been exciting. I see something here that could keep growing for years. Collecting, for me, involves choices and relationships: why a work stays with you, what you create around it, and how you introduce it to others. The characters I choose and the “games” I join become meaningful through participation. I’m helping shape a story that also becomes part of my own. That’s the connection between BOOA and #ChainPunksLab : taking the tools into our own hands and seeing what we can make. It’s also why the possibility of ChainPunks developing into a gamified metaverse interests me deeply. The competition runs until October 31.
